"Yamaha Piagerro Review&quot submitted March 31, 2011

Sound:
Very expressive tones and pretty good piano voice. It sounds pretty good when I am in the studio and its sounds better when I perform live.
Feature:
For the price, I can't complain. The highlight is that it is a USB keyboard and I could use it as a MIDI controller.
Ease of Use:
When I got it, I opened the box, plugged it in and started playing. The Piagerro is very straightforward....the way it should be.
Quality:
Very well made...already been in transport in and out of the studio and I am very impressed with the way it holds together, for such a light keyboard.
Value:
Yamaha Piaggero NPV-60. It's a Yamaha...I'm sure it speaks for itself.
Manufacturer Support:
Haven't dealt with customer support yet...but when you are busy, you shouldn't have to.

Overall:
I love this and recommend it to any student, or part timer who doesn't really want a toy but doesn't want to spend a fortune. Originally, I thought some of the features were unecessary or distracting, but I am slowly learning how to use them. I only had two disappointments...no power supply, but the YPR-7 I was replaceing used a compatible (don't try this yourself, a qualified person checked it for me, you can damage it by using one that just "fits" ) so be sure to order one. Number two...I didn't buy one sooner!
